More SNOW DAY!

Reagan having the best time! Up to no good. Snow Angel...she has always wanted to make one!!!

Tatum having fun before she ran in screaming about her hands again!

Wayne went to work but came home because everything was closed in Madisonville. So he picked up Reagan from school so she could play in the Snow. She was thrilled! We have been having a great day!!!

SNOW DAY!

They just ran out in the snow without jackets!

Reagan was so excited!

Our back yard is covered.

Tatum has had enough!

Today, we woke up to the phone ringing and Bridget calling to tell us it was snowing in Mandeville. When we were ready to go to school it was snowing and the girls were screaming they were so excited! So I let them play in it for a little while. Reagan still had to go to school and it snowed and snowed! When we got home Tatum played in the snow. She loves eating it! She played until she cried because her hands hurt...they were so cold! So she is now in bed with socks on her hands watching her favorite Scooby Doo!

The snow is beautiful and so unexpected! It is just amazing!

Paw Paw's Big Helper!

Tatum got her own tool belt set at Lowe's and was so excited to be able to help Paw Paw! She was so happy and really liked working. Tatum even told Paw Paw that HE WAS HER BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD! It was the sweetest thing!!!

The Zoo

Yesterday, we went to the zoo to spend the day with Granny, Uncle Scott, Aunt Denise, Ryan and Noah. They came in town from Texas. It was a really nice day. The weather was beautiful and zoo wasn't very crowded. The kids had a great time with their cousins! They don't get to see each other very often and they really had fun!

House Work!

Working Hard!

Reagan always ready to pose for a picture!

Tatum needed PawPaw to help her wipe the mud off of her toe!

Reagan and Tatum got in on the action going on at our house. We are renovating the guest bedroom and bathroom. Wayne and my Dad started on it a few weeks ago. Then my Dad's back went out. So the project was stalled a bit. Thank Goodness Chris came over yesterday, to help Wayne. That was a big help!!! Today my Dad and Wayne were doing the grout work. Reagan and Tatum had fun working with PawPaw and Daddy. (Did I mention that we will be having house guest that are expecting to use the room over the Thanksgiving Holidays! They will be here on Saturday! So, that gives us 5 days to finish painting, put the wood floors in the bedroom, put down all the moldings, put the new sink and toilet in, and hang up the towel racks and put in new light fixtures!)

Happy Halloween!

Tatum actually posed for a picture! She usually won't stay still long enough for me to take her picture! But, she was helping me in Reagan's class so she was very excited!

Reagan and Tatum were Witches!

Waiting to go Trick-or-Treating!

The night before Halloween we carved our pumpkins!!!

I woke up sick on Thursday. I went to the doctor on Friday morning. I have a sinus infection. Almost every year since I was born, I have been sick on Halloween! We decided to stay around here and trick or treat. I wasn't in the mood to drive to Slidell and then drive home. We ended up running into a few of Reagan's friends from school and their families. It was really nice and the girls had a blast. At first, Tatum wouldn't go to the door unless Daddy was holding her hand. But, it didn't take long before she decided she really like getting candy...and she cried when it was time to go home!

Field Trip

Petting the farm animals!

Playing in the Cotton Field.

Learning about pumpkins.

Hannah & Reagan having fun together! (They are inseparable!)
On Wednesday I went on Reagan's Field Trip. We went to a Pumpkin Farm in Hammond. The kids rode the bus and the parents drove there. I rode with my friend Tara (Hannah's mom). They had a pumpkin patch, cotton fields, corn maze, and fields of hay that the kids jumped on. They had fun playing in the country... but, they are all city kids!!! All of the pictures I have of Reagan have Hannah in them too. We are so glad that Reagan has made such a good friend. The trip was really fun. And we got to take home pumpkins!!!

Fair Weekend

They really had fun with the silly string and confetti eggs!

The girls had fun with Hannah playing dress up and taking pictures in the picture booth.

Tatum had so much fun!

Last weekend was Reagan's school fair. So the entire week I had so many little things to do. Wayne helped set up the fair when he got home from work at night. They always provide lots of pizza and beer! So 200 men showed up to help set up! I worked all day Friday setting it up. Tatum played on the play ground with the preK classes while I worked. The fair does not have rides. It has game booths and each class is assigned a booth. Confetti eggs and silly string are a big deal and this year they had 16,000 dozen confetti eggs that we had to put onto shelves in the booth! I had a great time getting to know all the other moms that were working. The fair started Friday at 5pm until 11pm. And then it started up again on Saturday at noon! Wayne worked the men's club Road Kill booth (they don't really sell road kill it is just one of the food booths). Reagan performed on the stage with the Spirit Squad that afternoon. She looked so cute with her cheer leading uniform and pom poms! And she loved walking around the fair for the rest of the night in that outfit! I worked her class booth until the fair closed and we were all exhausted! Then Sunday after mass, the fair started again at noon. Reagan's class sang on stage. I wanted to cry while I watched her on stage because she is just so happy and it shows! After we ate some really great fried crab balls from Deanie's, we decided we were tired of the fair and we went to have dinner in Slidell with MawMaw & PawPaw. That evening I got a call that we won a gift basket in the raffle, so that was really cool. School was closed on Monday to clean up from the fair. Wayne said only about 30 guys showed up to take everything down but they got it all done! We had a great 3 day weekend!

LSU Cheer Leading Camp

I don't know who was more excited about LSU Cheer Leading Camp, Wayne or Reagan!!! HaHaHa... Reagan's on the Spirit Squad (the little girls cheer leading team) at school. Their coach's daughter is an LSU cheerleader, so they were invited to go to cheer camp last weekend. It was in the indoor football facility, so Wayne volunteered to take her to Baton Rouge. He said he was willing to sacrifice watching the Saints Game, so Reagan could go! He is such a trooper to make such a sacrifice! Reagan had a great time, so did Wayne! He took tons of pictures of ALL the cheer leaders and the indoor facility, in case you ever want to see them! I will spare you, and only show the ones with Reagan in them!!!!

Lauren's Birthday Party

Happy Birthday Lauren!

Tatum Loved Bowling and hanging out with all the kids at the party!

Lauren & Reagan! Notice all the missing teeth!

Drew & Reagan...he's missing teeth too!

Anna...she always makes me laugh!

Katherine is so grown up!

Yes, the kids are trying to play video poker at the Bar!!!

Lauren's Birthday Party was 2 weeks ago. It was so nice to watch all the kids hanging out together! They are so fun to watch and they all have so much fun together! I guess we should try and do it more often! It was nice for me too, I got to hang out with Tracy, Natalie and Bridget!

City Park

Two weekends ago, Reagan's school had Family Night at City Park. It was so much fun! The amusement park was only open to her school and they had a huge turn out! The weather was perfect and it was breezy. We took the train ride through the park, with a police escort...that was interesting! Andrea came with us to ride all the rides with the girls. I get sick on some of them! Tatum loves to spin around on the rides! Reagan and her friend Hannah had the best time being together. All the Dad's were freaking out because they were missing the LSU game! Don't worry, Andy and Chris stayed in constant contact with Wayne, to tell him what he was missing!

They had a Warren Easton/McDonough High School football game playing at Tad Gormley... so you can imagine why we needed the police around! Later on the news we found out that they had to stop the game because they thought someone had a gun!!! Gotta Love New Orleans!
